The forum discussion centers on the complexities of describing Young's Double Slit Experiment using Hamiltonian mechanics, particularly when considering constraints on particle movement through the slits. Participants explore the implications of constrained Hamiltonians, suggesting that they may lead to scenarios where the Hamiltonian could equal zero (H=0). The conversation also touches on the applicability of Feynman paths when particle trajectories are restricted to specific surfaces, such as a four-dimensional sphere.
